Ingredients
24oz Freshly Ground Beef (Chuck 80/20)
8 Slices Daily’s® Honey Hickory Thick-Cut Bacon, Cut in Half
2 tsp Daily’s® Bacon Seasoning
6-8 Tbsp Daily’s Bacon Jam
6-8 Tbsp Daily’s Bacon garlic aioli
4 each Hamburger rolls, split
4 slices Colby Jack Cheese, or your favorite
4-8 each Bibb lettuce leaves
8 each Slices vine ripe tomatoes
For the burger sauce
6 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. Ketchup
1 Tbsp Spicy brown or Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp Sweet pickle relish
Optional Bacon fat
To taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
1- Combine ground beef, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Portion ground beef into four 1/3 LB patties.
2- Cook the bacon until crispy in the oven (375 degrees). Remove to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Reserve 2 to 3 tablespoons bacon grease in the skillet.
3- Carefully place burger patties in a skillet or grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side - burgers will be medium to medium- rare. Remove skillet from heat. Top burgers with cheese. Allow to melt the cheese (additional 1-2 minutes).
Assembly:
1- Place 1-2 tablespoons of aioli on the cut side of your bottom burger bun. Using the back of your spoon spread out the aioli to coat the bun.
2- Do the same with the Bacon Jam on the top bun.
(Add extra jam and aioli to your taste - you can't have too much of this jam.)
3- Top the aioli with a piece of lettuce, tomato slices, cheeseburger patty, and 4 bacon slices (halves).
4- Place the top bun on the burger.
